    Learn what rhythm and meter mean in violin music

    Meter is the grouping of beats in stressed and unstressed patterns. For example, the musical form of
    a waltz generally uses a rhythmic pattern of three beats, with the first note accented (ONE, two,
    three; ONE, two, three). This is called triple meter. The most common meters are duple meters (a
    rhythmic pattern of two beats); triple meter (three beats) or quadruple meter (four beats).

    Time Signatures (sometimes known as meter signatures) are a sign or fraction placed at the
    beginning of a piece to indicate the meter of the piece. Time signatures show how the beats are
    grouped in each measure, and what the duration is of each note. The top number in a time signature
    indicates how many beats there are in a measure, and the bottom number indicates the note value
    which represents one beat. For example, a time signature of 3/4 indicates each measure contains
    three quarter notes. Since each measure is grouped into three beats, 3/4 is in a triple meter.

    Violin Online Sample Time Signatures

    2/4 Time Signature

    3/4 Time Signature

    The letter “C” for “common time” is often used to indicate a 4/4 time signature.

    6/8 Time Signature. Notice how in this time signature, the eighth notes are grouped
    into two groups of three notes each.
